Position Overview
The Construction Manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day execution of construction and development projects at Oakfire Ridge, from preconstruction and site work through final completion and turnover.
This is a hands-on construction position for someone who understands how projects are actually built. The ideal candidate has substantial field experience, understands construction sequencing and trades, can read plans and specifications, and has successfully taken commercial construction projects from the ground up through completion.
The Construction Manager will represent Oakfire Ridge's ownership interests in the field, working closely with contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, consultants, vendors, and internal leadership to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, within budget, and to Oakfire Ridge's quality standards. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable reviewing plans, walking an active jobsite, solving construction problems in real time, sourcing materials and equipment, managing schedules and budgets, and holding contractors accountable for performance.
Key ResponsibilitiesConstruction Management & Field Oversight
· Manage construction projects from preconstruction and site development through substantial completion and turnover.
· Maintain a consistent, hands-on presence at active construction sites and monitor progress, workmanship, quality, safety, and compliance with approved plans and specifications.
· Understand construction sequencing and coordinate work across multiple trades, contractors, and project phases.
· Identify field issues early and work directly with contractors, architects, engineers, and consultants to develop practical solutions.
· Conduct regular site walks, progress meetings, inspections, and contractor coordination meetings.

· Coordinate preconstruction planning, site logistics, permitting, procurement, mobilization, and project startup.
· Review construction drawings, specifications, scopes of work, proposals, and related project documents.
· Identify long-lead materials, equipment, and critical decisions early and address them before they impact the schedule.
· Drive projects forward and proactively resolve issues affecting schedule, cost, quality, or constructability.
Material Sourcing & Procurement
· Efficiently source construction materials, equipment, fixtures, and supplies required for projects.
· Develop and maintain relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and local vendors.
· Obtain and compare competitive pricing while balancing cost, quality, availability, lead time, and project requirements.
· Identify alternative materials and suppliers when availability, pricing, or lead times create project challenges.
· Coordinate material quantities, ordering, delivery, storage, and availability with contractors and project schedules.
· Identify opportunities for direct purchasing, bulk purchasing, and other procurement strategies that reduce project costs without compromising quality.
Contractor, Budget & Cost Management
· Serve as a primary point of coordination between Oakfire Ridge and general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and consultants.
· Hold contractors accountable for schedule, quality, safety, staffing, and contractual responsibilities.
· Monitor project budgets, commitments, invoices, change orders, allowances, and construction contingencies.
· Review change orders for scope, necessity, pricing, and schedule impact and identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality.
· Maintain visibility into projected construction costs and communicate potential budget and schedule risks to ownership.
Design, Quality & Closeout
· Work closely with architects, engineers, landscape architects, designers, operators, and other consultants throughout design and construction.
· Provide practical constructability input and review plans for conflicts, omissions, field conditions, cost implications, and operational considerations.
· Coordinate RFIs, submittals, design clarifications, and field changes.
· Maintain high standards for craftsmanship, materials, finishes, and overall construction quality.
· Coordinate punch lists, inspections, testing, commissioning, certificates of occupancy, warranties, as-built drawings, and final project turnover.
Qualifications
· Significant hands-on experience in commercial construction, general contracting, construction supervision, or construction management.
· Demonstrated experience successfully building projects from the ground up.
· Strong working knowledge of construction means and methods, sequencing, trades, materials, and building systems.
· Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans.
· Experience managing contractors, subcontractors, schedules, budgets, change orders, and construction documentation.
· Demonstrated ability to efficiently source construction materials and equipment, negotiate with vendors, compare pricing, manage lead times, and identify cost-effective alternatives without compromising quality.
· Strong problem-solving, organizational, communication, and leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
· Hospitality, resort, private club, restaurant, sports facility, or other complex commercial development experience is preferred.
· Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related discipline is preferred; equivalent hands-on construction experience will be strongly considered.
Personal Attributes
The successful Construction Manager will be hands-on, accountable, practical, decisive, organized, and highly knowledgeable about construction. This individual should have the confidence and experience to walk onto a jobsite, understand what is happening, identify when something is not being built correctly, communicate effectively with the trades, and determine what needs to happen next.
Most importantly, this person must have a builder's mentality: the ability to take a project from drawings and raw land to a completed facility while maintaining control of quality, schedule, cost, and material availability.
Measures of Success
· Projects completed on or ahead of schedule and within approved budgets.
· High-quality workmanship with reduced rework and efficient project closeout.
· Effective contractor, subcontractor, and vendor performance.
· Early identification and resolution of construction, procurement, and schedule issues.
